7. Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports and Media

Rate of suicide per 100,000 population: 24.3

You would think arts and media-related occupations would land at the number one spot on such a list or at least close to the top, but they are surprisingly much lower than I expected. Maybe it’s just the fact that suicides of famous people are publicized much more than “ordinary” suicides which make us believe they occur more often than they do. Don’t get me wrong though, 24.3 people from a 100,000 is still quite a big number and needs to be lessened.
